EASY MIRROR MAKEOVER

I thought I'd try something different this time, so I used Gesso instead of paint. It gives the piece a little softer look. After two coats, I let it dry, then lightly sanded (hitting the high spots). That's it!!! I didn't varnish, since I wanted to keep that soft look. Wouldn't this be perfect above a bathroom vanity or a dressing table??

See ya'll soon. I have a great old dresser that I painted PINK and I love the way it turned out. So, come back in a couple days and give me YOUR opinion.

About Me

I'm Mother to 2 wonderful sons and MiMi to 5 precious grandkids. I have a small gift and antiques shop, an ebay store and sometimes sneak away to go pickin' to keep the shop well stocked. Come along with me. We'll jump in my old red truck and travel the backroads of Tennessee and Alabama lookin' for treasures that we can repaint or repurpose, then bring into the shop. It's always fun to see the expressions on faces and hear comments that are made about pieces I've found. And, hopefully some of those folks will adopt some of the treasures I've found and give them a good home.
